The purpose of this RFP is to engage the services of a team of research consultants/contractor(s) to describe the current status of population-based health and health services databases in Canada that are being used and show the potential for use in innovative and important health research. This endeavor will be a great opportunity to partner with other researchers and stakeholder partners, and put interested parties in touch with each other. To this end, a teleconference will be organized in order to foster collaboration among interested applicants as well as to discuss the intent of the initiative and to answer questions. Researchers are encouraged to bear in mind that publications of the outcomes of this research project will be actively encouraged and supported by the sponsoring agencies.

Part I: Conceptual Framework and Taxonomy of Population-Based Health and Health Service Research Databases and/or Repositories in Canada
